Swansea City 1 Burnley 0: Ki unlocks Clarets defence

Ki Sung-yueng kept Swansea City's great escape going under Carlos Carvalhal with a decisive late strike in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Burnley.

The South Korea international produced the only moment of quality with nine minutes remaining at the Liberty Stadium, his low effort creeping past Nick Pope to extend Burnley's winless run to 10 matches.

Ki pounced on a loose ball on the edge of the area to seal all three points for Swansea, a win that sees them climb to 15th in the Premier League table - two points clear of the relegation zone on the back of a five-match unbeaten sequence.

It was another disappointing day for Sean Dyche's Clarets, though, who have not tasted victory since December 12, and they rarely looked like ending that run here.

Half chances were the best they could muster, Lukasz Fabianski rarely called upon as Burnley's attacking woes continued.

The hosts were little better until Ki's late strike, and the defeat leaves Burnley in seventh ahead of a two-week break due their elimination from the FA Cup.
